shop architects: botswana innovation hub

...the client’s brief was for an iconic yet timeless building which employed the most cutting-edge green
technology available...shop’s design uses a variety of sustainable techniques,
including an 'energy blanket' roofscape, which combines passive and active
sustainable energy techniques. the roof design of the botswana innovation hub incorporates large
overhangs to passively shade the building’s interior volumes, mechanisms to collect and re-use water,
and both passive and active photovoltaic systems to harness solar energy. the combination of these
technologies will offset at least half of the building’s operational energy costs. where the roof slope
prevents optimal solar collection, a low-maintenance roof garden collects and filters rainwater. this
harvested water supports both the roof garden and the bioswales downstream in the courtyards
